I wouldn't buy a MacBook until they sort out the keyboard problems, but when my employer gives me the latest MacBook Pro to work on, I'm absolutely happy! It's a wonderful machine, and if it breaks – not my problem at all.

This should go without saying I hope!

There was a time when you could reasonably evaluate employers with the Joel Test: https://www.joelonsoftware.com/2000/08/09/the-joel-test-12-s... But if you take "10 or lower and you’ve got serious problems" as accurate, it seems very few orgs these days lack serious problems. Ignoring the other criteria, few seem to meet even the relatively easy to meet criteria of having quiet spaces (8) and having the best hardware (9) -- or at least if not 'best', then more impressive than what the typical employee has at home.
